Syntyi pitkänäperjantaina 13.4.1909, samana vuonna kuin Kaarlo Syväntö ja Heikki Brotherus. Samana päivänä kuin Jöns mutta eri vuonna. Sporttinen kriketinpelaaja toteutti Paul Austerin märän unen olemalla 1st class cricket player ja nobelisti samassa naamarissa. (Persona on naamari, muistattehan.) Se oli viimeinen modernisti, sen jälkeen oli enää post. Siinä on jotain samaa kuin Camusissa, muttei kuitenkaan. Existentialisti se ei ole ainakaan. Eikä mikään posetiivari. Enemmänkin sellanen "tilanne on toivoton muttei vakava." Hyvä tyyppi siis siinä suhteessa.

ellauri077.html on line 458: About Existentialist Engagement in Wallace, Eggers and Foer. The novels of David Foster Wallace, Dave Eggers and Jonathan Safran Foer are increasingly regarded as representing a new trend, an 'aesthetic sea change' in contemporary American fiction. 'Post-postmodernism' and 'New Sincerity' are just two of the labels that have been attached to this trend. But what do these labels mean? What characterizes and connects these novels?

Tarkistuskysymys: Millä eläimellä on useita sydämiä? Entä puhuvia päitä?

Keittiöön valittiin Ikean saareke ja itämainen matto. Vapaudesta seuraa vastuu, haista paska, mikä Sartre oled sa. Tokkuraisella Jumalalla on sana hallussa.

Empiirisesti aivan pielessä. Toinen on antikartesiolainen näkemys omasta navasta. Pointtina ettei sini ja mini ymmärrä edes izeään. Siinä se on kyllä oikeassa. Size nakersi Hegeliä tavalla josta monet myöhemmät sekulit ml Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger ym ym innostuivat. Ranskalaiset postmodernistit tyyliin Lacan, Derrida tai Adorno näyttää olleen saxalaisen idealismin karkeen manttelin perijöitä. Jälkiuudenaikaisia hämärämiehiä. Existentialistit kuten Eski Saarinen on perimmältään samanlaisia, Aalto yliopiston miehiä.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 151: He developed his thinking in a second book on Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Frederich Nietzsche, which increased Shestov's reputation as an original and incisive thinker. In All Things Are Possible (published in 1905) Shestov adopted the aphoristic style of Friedrich Nietzsche to investigate the difference between Russian and European Literature. Although on the surface it is an exploration of numerous intellectual topics, at its base it is a sardonic work of Existentialist philosophy which both criticizes and satirizes our fundamental attitudes towards life situations. D.H. Lawrence, who wrote the Foreword to S.S. Koteliansky's literary translation of the work, summarized Shestov's philosophy with the words: " 'Everything is possible' - this is his really central cry. It is not nihilism. It is only a shaking free of the human psyche from old bonds. The positive central idea is that the human psyche, or soul, really believes in itself, and in nothing else". Shestov deals with key issues such as religion, rationalism, and science in this highly approachable work, topics he would also examine in later writings such as In Job's Balances. Shestov's own key quote from this work is probably the following: "...we need to think that only one assertion has or can have any objective reality: that nothing on earth is impossible. Every time someone wants to force us to admit that there are other, more limited and limiting truths, we must resist with every means we can lay hands on".

xxx/ellauri354.html on line 243: Hemingway is not an Existentialist, for there has been no known liason between him and the other existentialsists, niether personally nor intellectually, and neither has ever formally recognized a kinship to the other.
